Oven Method
Alternatively to a slow cooker, the casserole can be made in an oven. Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Butter or grease a baking dish. Prepare the ingredients as instructed above, pour the prepared ingredients into the dish and top with layer of reserved tater tots. Cover the pan with foil and bake in the pre heated oven for about 50 to 60 minutes. Then remove foil and continue cooking for 10 to 15 minutes until tots are browned.
Tip
- Use extra condensed soup if the casserole seems very dry.
